Getting an Early Start on Early Child Development
The children born this year, 2004, will
be eleven years old in 2015-the age of primary school
completion in most countries. This is the Millennium
Development Goals (MDG) generation-for whom the
international community has pledged that by 2015, all
children will be able to complete primary schooling.
Ensuring good early child development is the first essential
step toward achieving these goals. The note reviews the
benefits of early child development (ECD), its options, and
coverage by country and region, and provides lessons as
follows. A strong institutional framework should be
complemented by local capacity, and community participation,
while ECD programs should be federally funded. Monitoring
and evaluation mechanisms should be in place, as an
interactive process, responsive to local needs, and for
effective outcomes.
